Update:
The Olde Hide House, renamed the Hide House, is still in operation in Acton
while the Toronto and Vaughan locations have been closed. The current posted
hours of operation are: Open daily from 10am to 6pm. The phone number is
1-877-4-Leather or 519-853-1031 and they have a website at hidehouse.ca
so please check it out for the latest sales.

The Acton property
and building are up for sale and the Hide House hopes to continue as a
tenant after the sale. The massive store has been divided with one half
remaining as a sales area and the other half has been closed to the public
and is being used as a warehouse. Unfortunately the childrens indoor play
area and juice bar were in the warehouse portion.

The
Olde Hide House is situated in a converted warehouse that was constructed
at the turn of the last century. The building itself is very large and
has an open atmosphere that is very interesting. Located at 49 Eastern
Avenue in Acton, Ontario, the store is along Highway 7 just to the east
of Highway 25. You can use my
maps of Acton or you can check out this link to Google
Maps showing the location.

Their official website is here
and they also supply the history of the Olde Hide House here.

They have an amazing selection
of leather clothing and furniture and it is worth the drive just to look
around the store.

The Olde Hide
House had several stores located around Acton which were consolidated within
their main store. They had "Flight Aviation in the downtown core along
Highway 7 and off Church St E they had the "Western Warehouse." You can
see some of the planes in the Olde Hide House that they used to have located
at the Flight store.

During a large part of the year
the Acton Trunk sale is held in the parking lot in front of the Olde Hide
House on Saturday mornings. On summer Friday evenings people use the space
to show their cars.

For a short period GO Train
had a stop in Acton located right beside the Olde Hide House - but it didn't
last long and the train no longer stops here.

(a great Canadian product).
